by author / Friday, 18 February 2022 / Published in Beauty, Diet

Low hemoglobin and iron deficiency are a problem for many girls. However, it is the iron balance that determines normal hair growth, blood circulation and even respiration. And the level of hemoglobin depends on the amount of iron in the body. Star nutritionist spoke about life hacks that will help increase its number and improve the quality of life.

vitamin C, which is rich in citrus fruits, bell peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, broccoli, herbs;

beta-carotene (apricots, peaches, carrots, pumpkin, green onions, spinach, lettuce, peppers, etc.);

folic and organic acids, some amino acids (cysteine, methionine).

4. The level of iron in the body can also be affected by:

diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;

taking some drugs: calcium, zinc, antacids, proton pump inhibitors, tetracycline drugs;

increased need of the body for iron (pregnancy, lactation, childhood);

blood loss;

worm infestations;
